Coquitlam RCMP want the rightful owner of cash found to come and claim it

Darpan News Desk Coquitlam RCMP, 17 Feb, 2022 03:01 PM
  • Coquitlam RCMP want the rightful owner of cash found to come and claim it

Did you accidentally drop a significant amount of cash in the 400-block of Schoolhouse Street? Coquitlam RCMP is asking the rightful owner to come forward.

On February 9, 2021, someone was walking near the 400-block of Schoolhouse Street, Coquitlam when they dropped a large sum of cash. An upstanding citizen found the cash and immediately turned it in to the Coquitlam RCMP detachment, says Constable Deanna Law spokesperson for the Coquitlam RCMP. When the right person does call us, they will need to answer specific questions to make sure we are returning the cash to the correct individual.

The rightful owner must be willing to describe the amount, denominations, and what the cash was being carried in.

Coquitlam RCMP would like to remind the public that if you have lost a large amount of money, you could call police and make a report. There is no reason to feel embarrassed, says Constable Deanna Law. Accidents happen and police would simply like to get the money back to the individual that lost it.

To reach the investigator and claim the found cash from February 9, 2022, please call the Coquitlam RCMP non-emergency number at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2022-3499.
